Health and Exercise Science, B.S.

Put your passion to work with a degree in Health and Exercise Science.

“I chose to major in Health and Exercise Science because it’s a blend of things I’m interested in. (I play football and always found joy in sports.) I’m learning how it works in the real world. I already shadowed two different athletic trainers and a coach. I feel invested in at Saint Francis, both in and out of the classroom.” — Joshua Nziza ’27, Health and Exercise Science

Personalize your degree via two concentrations:

• Kinesiology — For careers in fitness training, personal coaching, community health education OR to prepare for graduate programs in physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician studies, and chiropractic care.
